4751d9e5ad top-level: turn the screw
- Non-cross stdenvs are honest and assert that `crossSystem` is null

 - `crossSystem` is a mandatory argument to top-level/stage.nix, just like
   `system` and `platform`

 - Broken default arguments on stdenvs for testing are gone.

 - All stdenvs (but little-used stdenvNix) take the same arguments for easy
   testing.

d240a0da1a top-level: Remove cycles: stdenv calls in top-level but not vice versa
This commit changes the dependencies of stdenv, and clean-up the stdenv
story by removing the `defaultStdenv` attribute as well as the `bootStdenv`
parameter.

Before, the final bootstrapping stage's stdenv was provided by
all-packages, which was iterating multiple times over the
top-level/default.nix expression, and non-final bootstrapping stages'
stdenvs were explicitly specified with the `bootStdenv` parameter.

Now, all stages' stdenvs are specified with the `stdenv` parameter.
For non-final bootstrapping stages, this is a small change---basically just
rename the parameter.
For the final stage, top-level/default.nix takes the chosen stdenv and
makes the final stage with it.

`allPackages` is used to make all bootstrapping stages, final and
non-final alike. It's basically the expression of `stage.nix` (along with a
few partially-applied default arguments)

Note, the make-bootstrap-tools scripts are temporarily broken

07a2b17cbf top-level: Split some of pkgs/top-level/default.nix to pkgs/top-level/stage.nix
This is preparation for the latter just building a single stage, and the
former building a package set with the bootstrapped stdenv.
